Brief Summary

This is research study is for participants with advanced breast or gastrointestinal cancer who have been taking oral chemotherapy medication (Oral Cancer Directed Therapy). This study is to help researchers better understand gaps in assessing oral chemotherapy patient toxicity at home, adherence to treatment and integrate toxicity/adherence reporting.

Detailed Description

For patients with advanced breast or gastrointestinal cancer prescribed Oral Cancer Directed Therapy.

* Participants will complete ePRO clinic for all medical oncology scheduled provider appointments during the study period per standard practice

* Participants between clinic visits, will be asked to complete the oral weekly survey at home via the mobile or web based patient portal. The survey can be completed on a computer, tablet or smartphone at home or on a tablet at the time of scheduled visit.

* The first 100 participants to complete the survey will receive a passive care team alert for responses (per DFHCC policy)

* The second 100 participants to complete the survey will receive an active care team alert for responses.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
ePRO Oral Response Rate90 days

proportion of participants responding to at least 50% of ePRO oral questionnaires at 90 days

Average number of ePRO oral questionnaires completed per week90 Days

average number of ePRO oral questionnaires completed per week until discontinuation of OCDT or end of study (whichever occurs first)

ePRO oral ease of use90 Days

Proportion of participants reporting that ePRO oral was either easy or very easy to use among participants who responded to at least one ePRO oral questionnaire

Proportion of Participants with an ePRO Intervention90 Days

proportion of participants who were called by an office practice nurse for toxicity, had an OCDT dose modification, urgent clinic visit, ED visit or unplanned hospitalization among participants who responded to at least one ePRO oral questionnaire
